the church. 1t was 1915 o'clock last night when
he returned to St Patrick's and went to his old

MINOR MATTERS.
IMP opuIarity of the Ausrere and Exclusive
Railway Commission.

IMP opuIarity of the Ausrere and Exclusive
Interstate Railway Commission.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WAsaINGToS, April 1.-The lnterstate-com-
merce Commission is no. going to be popular
body with the people here. AS rule, the COM
missioners are difident, austere and cold in
their official relations with the masses. Some
how they have got it into their heads that they
are judicial officers, and that they will outshna
the Supreme Court of the United States. There
are no officers of the United States more APP
proachable than the justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States. They are all fine
lawyers and gentlemen. They feel that their
conduct places them above suspicion. But the
Interstate Commissioners are very chary with
the common herd. Especially is Mr.. Morrison
keeping up his cool demeanor to the outside
world IL is wonder that Morrison was ever
elected by the franchises of any people to any
Office. He is harsh and abrupt. None of the
newspaper correspondents who have to visit
public men in Washington, and who are the
best judges Of public character, like to go TO
Morrison. 1t was he, the other day, who an
nounced that no newspaper men were wanted
around the Interstate-commerce Commission
an effort TO forestall the press with his col
leagues. But there are others who are offish
with the public The question which is most
serious with the public just now is. Is the Inter
state-commerce Commission judicial body!
1t has been intimated that one reason the com
missioners are so cool is that they do not want
people running to them for all kinds of informa-
tion and becoming familiar with them.

THE FIRE RECORD.

StAucustine, Fla, Suffers Severely, but Fort
unately There Is No Loss of Life.
ST. AUGUSTINE Fla. April 12.-She st. Au-
eustine Hotel took fire at 2;30 o'clock this morn
ing, and was destroyed. The old slave-market
is also gone. The ancient cathedral is in
flames. The Edwards Hotel and half a dozen
small buildings are also on fire, and it seems in
evitable that the Florida House and the opera
house must 60. The danger of the destruction
of the whole town from the plaza to the city gate
is imminent. All of the seventy-six gueets at the
St Augustine got out in safety as did also the
help of that house. and the guests and servants
of the Edwards House.
A later dispatch says the fire has been stopped
at Treasury street, and the main portion of the
town is SAFE The county courthouse and We'd
ders Museum were destroyed. All the county
records were removed to place Of safety but
many valuable papers in the hands of
lawyers who had offices in the county
buildings destroyed. The telegraph
wires to all points are at present down, but
an early re- establishment of communication is
anticipated There was not the slightest acct
cent to anyone of the st. Augustine's seventy
six guests. although it is reported that colored
scrub woman lost her life by running back into
the servants quarters for her effects. But ht.le
property here is insured, as the buildings in the
town mainly of wood. compactly built and
the place is provided with only one third class
steam fire engine. The average rate of insur-
seems to be 81 per cent. and tnis has oper-
ated a proscriptive tariff. The destruction of
the wires at an early stage of the fire prevented
a call from being made on Jacksonville for
assistance, and it was not until nearly o'clock
that special train was ordered to proceed to
Jacksonville for help. Before steam could be
got mp in the locomotive, however, it was evil
dent that the local department was able to cope
with the danger. SO the order was finally coun-
fernandez. The loss on the ST Augustine Hotel
is 500. 900. The insurance expired within
twenty four hours before the fire.

Mr. Raymopd's mania for matching came
upon him at times almost unconsciously. Once
he about TO start for Europe and strolled
into the office Of one of the steamship companies
